Maui Dinner Cruises

Cruise Off The Shores Of Maui

Dinner & Sunset Cruises in Maui Hawaii

Dinner cruises are available most evenings before sunset, with boats departing from Lahaina or Maalaea. But should you take a dinner cruise, or should you take a daytime cruise and then go to dinner on land?

The advantage of a dinner cruise is that you have beautiful views of Maui and the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai from the ship, a lovely sunset, and dinner, all in one neat package. But in my opinion, the views of Maui and the ocean and the other islands (plus whales in the winter) are all much better in the bright sunshine in the middle of the day. And I feel that the food at dinner (and certainly the number of food choices for dinner) are much better if you select from one of the many top restaurants recommended on the Restaurants pages of this Maui website, instead of eating your dinner on the ship.

But if you would like to go on a dinner cruise during your Maui vacation, see the comparisons between some of the various available dinner cruise choices below. Or click for more things to do on Maui.

About Me

I am Jon and I love Maui. Writing about Maui has been my hobby for the past 30 years. This website is my effort to help you, whether a first-timer or repeat visitor, to have the best possible experience during your visit to Maui. The info here is based on my own research and experiences. I am not a travel agent and I don't sell anything, so my reports are unbiased. I have visited each of the hotels, condos, and sights, have eaten at all of the reviewed restaurants, and took almost all of the photos. I welcome your comments or questions at jon@mauihawaii.org.
